"Stop calling it soy MILK! There's no such thing as oat MILK! Milk comes from COWS."

What should they call it, then? Oat beverage? Soy water? No, that's silly. They are, functionally, milks. That's an apt descriptor.

Ditto for other vegan alternatives.

Maybe "juice" ? "Soy juice" and "Oat juice" sound pretty good to me.

On the "Soy milk" wikipedia page, it is said that Germany and Italy use names like "soy drink" or "soy beverage".
